I hope that aren't going for form over function here. I hate to say it but that engine setup just looks silly.

The set up is correct.... engine, high rise manifold, blower, carbi manifold, carbies, intake pipes.
I doubt the set up is a fake as it looks like its all there... Im betting the car actually belongs to someone? or it was made to run for real just for the hell of it....

I see a strap holding it all together. I think they just threw some stuff together just for the photo-op.

The strap is actually used on all blown drag cars, in the event the bolts break or something goes wrong, it helps hold the blower down so it doesnt fly off and hit the crowd or other vehicles. Though im doubting by the size of the "puny" strap that itll hold much....

Here's another video of the press conference. Better quality video this time, with some new quotes.

Seriously, guys—who's the dude with the '80s mullet?

Just a guess, but could it be Miller's longtime producing partner Doug Mitchell of Kennedy-Miller-Mitchell?

Yeah, but it's a friggin' CHEVY engine!?!?

I think the car builder's vision was to 'modernize', ie the 'lowrider' stance and the higher blower intake and strap (used lately on drag cars) on the rat-truck.

GUYS,

That is not our Max's Interceptor... remember, it's a parallel Earth!

Loving the rat look ute...anyone know what it originally was/is?

The new BoB looks the part too....looking forward to seeing other incarnations that George Millar has awaiting for us.

I wonder if both these vehicles belong to Max? the Ute is his daily driver and he has the BoB garaged away, assembeling the parts over the years since Thunderdome, and it gets used in the final chase sequence?

If it says this is a Paralleled Universe in the dialog of the movie, Sure... (I hope not. There's never been any Science Fiction in these Science Fiction films and I don't want it now)

If it doesn't..
